Dram Shop Liability
If you have been hit by a drunk driver, a dram shop claim can be a major component of the motor vehicle accident case.
A dram shop is any establishment that sells alcohol, such as a liquor store, bar, restaurant and even a private event. In the event of a drunk driving injury accident, if any dram shop violations were committed a claim may be filed against the offender. Dram shop violations include:
- Selling liquor to an obviously intoxicated patron
- Selling liquor without a license
- Selling liquor to a minor
- Selling liquor after hours
Our dram shop liability lawyers can help you determine if a dram shop violation had any bearing on your car accident. If you retain Pritzker Olsen. P.A., we will act quickly when pursuing a dram shop case in order to protect your rights. Verifying the intoxication of a patron usually relies on the eyewitness testimony. The sooner we start the process, the easier it is to locate the witnesses and the clearer and more accurate the details.
The statute of limitations governing the dram shop portion of an accident case is much shorter than those that apply to the rest of the case. If a dram shop claim is not made within that time frame, you may lose the right to pursue the claim at all.
